View SamplesPericryptal myofibroblasts in the colon and rectum play an important role in regulating the normal colorectal stem cell niche and facilitating tumour progression. Myofibroblasts have previously mostly been distinguished from normal fibroblasts only by the expression of smooth muscle actin (SMA). We now identify AOC3, a surface monoamine oxidase, as a new marker of myofibroblasts by showing that it is the target protein of the myofibroblast reacting monoclonal antibody (mAb), PR2D3. The normal and tumour tissue distribution and the cell line reactivity of AOC3 match that expected for myofibroblasts. We have shown that the surface expression of AOC3 is sensitive to digestion by trypsin and collagenase and that anti-AOC3 antibodies can be used for FACS sorting of myofibroblasts obtained by non-enzymatic procedures. Whole genome microarray mRNA expression profiles of myofibroblasts and skin fibroblasts revealed four additional genes that are significantly expressed differentially between these two cell types; NKX2-3 and LRRC17 are expressed in myofibroblasts and SHOX2 and TBX5 in skin fibroblasts. Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) substantially down-regulated AOC3 expression in myofibroblasts but not in skin fibroblasts, in which it dramatically increased the expression of SMA. A knockdown of NKX2-3 in myofibroblasts caused a decrease of myofibroblast-related gene expression and an increased expression of the fibroblast associated gene, SHOX2, suggesting that NKX2-3 is a key mediator for maintaining myofibroblast characteristics. Our results show that colorectal myofibroblasts, as defined by the expression of AOC3, NKX2-3 and other markers, are a distinctly different cell type from TGF activated fibroblasts.
Myofibroblasts are distinguished from activated skin fibroblasts by the expression of AOC3 and other associated markers.

View SamplesNatural populations of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, segregate genetic variation that leads to cardiac disease phenotypes. Drosophila is well-known as a model for studying the mechanisms by which human disease genes cause pathology, including heart disease, but it is less well appreciated that they may also model the genetic architecture of disease, since flies presumably also have diseases that have a genetic basis. It is reasoned that most of these aberrant inbred line effects would be due to capture of rare variants of large effect as homozygotes, allowing the variants to be mapped rapidly using contemporary genomic approaches.

View SamplesThis study is to identify downstream targets of homeobox gene CDX1. The study assayed the expression of 2 pairs of stably transfected colorectal cancer cell lines: The CDX1 nonexpressing CRC cell line HCT116 was stably transfected with either CDX1 cDNA in the pRC/CMV expression vector (HCT116-CDX1) or with vector control (HCT116-Vec). The CDX1-expressing CRC cell line LS174T was similarly transfected with either a pSilencer vector containing a short sequence of CDX1 siRNA (LS174T-siRNA) , or a pSilencer vector containing a scrambled siRNA sequence as a control (LS174T-Vec).

View SamplesAim: to perform a genome-wide investigation of chromatin landscape and gene expression patterns downstream of calcium and kinase signaling in Jurkat T cells. Methods: PMA and ionomycin were used to activate the calcium and kinase signalling networks involved in T cell activation. Global gene expression was measured using RNA-seq, whilst ATAC-seq was used to probe chromatin landscape following 3 hours of stimulation with PMA, ionomycin or both. All experiments were performed in triplicate. For RNA-seq all sequencing was performed using paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2500 instrument. For ATAC-seq sequencing was performed using a HiSeq 1500. Results: we mapped approximately 60 million reads per sample for ATAC-seq, and 22 million reads per library for RNA-seq. Overall we identified 57,825 transcripts and 19,763 ATAC-seq peaks. We identifiead 1648 genes whose expression was increased by 2-fold or more by at least one treatment in comparison to untreated cells. Similarly, we identified 3972 ATAC peaks that were induced by at least 2-fold by treatment in comparison to untreated cells. Conclusions: we found that chromatin landscape was associated with gene expression downstream of calcium and kinase signaling in Jurkat cells. Further to this we found that activation of the full complement of TCR-responsive genes is dependent upon both PMA and ionomycin, and amounts to more than just the sum of both. Overall design: RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing were performed after 3 hours of treatment with either PMA, ionomycin or co-treatment with PMA and ionomycin.
